Buy-Side Technology Awards 2015 - All the Winners
Waters and WatersTechnology are proud to announce the winners of this year's BST Awards, held in London on Friday, November 6.
As has now become something of a tradition, this year's special guests ─ ex-England rugby union international Richard Hill, and John Inverdale, ITV's chief anchor for this year's IRB Rugby World Cup ─ have strong rubgy union ties.
The final two awards of this year's program ─ best buy-side product for 2015 and best overall buy-side technology provider for 2015 ─ were won by Algomi and RIMES technologies, respectively.
Full write-ups of all 32 categories on offer for this year's BST Awards will apper in the December 2015 issue of Waters magazine.
